£13bn Housing Investment Included On Infrastructure List

Investment of almost £13bn in 18 housing projects and programmes has been listed in the government’s £500bn infrastructure pipeline. The Treasury has published a list of all the publicly backed infrastructure investments it foresees through to 2021 as a “strategic overview” of planned investment. The pipeline includes 700 projects of all kinds worth some £500bn, more than 40% of which is government investment. Housing investment totals £12.9bn, with several large housing projects, the Affordable Homes Programme and Accelerated Construction funding all included. The Treasury is publishing a full list of infrastructure investments to provide a “single source of data for both government and the private sector, giving greater certainty for investors and suppliers”.
